Honor the flag -- 'under God'

After joining the American Legion Auxiliary, within six months, with three others running, I was nominated and won as president. My goal was to initiate a flag for each classroom. The others wanted funds for tables and chairs for our hall. We got the flags.

Because of 100 percent membership in the district of our town, I was given the honor of being sergeant at arms for the state, marching and leading in all our parades.

Being a great believer of the flag and its Pledge of Allegiance (yes, under God), I celebrate each year, as my first son was born on Flag Day 1951. He is now deceased but thought of each year.

Taking "under God" out means not only our Pledge and all our currency, but what about all the cities and streets named after all those saints also? Just think about that!
